Add page_manage_engagements, page_manage_posts, page_read_engagement and click on Generate Access Token again. If it gives you a prompt to select pages, click on Select All

Make sure it goes from something like this:

to this:

Copy the token generated and go to this page.

Do not close your Graph API Explorer just yet! Open this page in a new tab...
Paste your token and click on Debug

Scroll down to the very bottom and click on Extend Access Token

You should see something like this. Click on Debug.

This should take you to a new page where you can copy your extended access token

Head back to Graph API Explorer and paste the extended access token in Access Token box.

Change the text which currently says me?fields=id,name to me/accounts
Click on submit and scroll down till you see your page name for which you want to generate access token.
Your access token for the page should be the one before your page name.
Copy the token and go back the Access Token Debugger

Paste the token and click on debug.

If the Expires field says never, Congrats! You just created a never expire access token for your page!

To test if the token works or not, go back to Graph API Explorer and change the GET to POST.

This should give you an option to add parameters. Add a field with message as key and whatever text you want as value
Change the location field to me/feed and click on Submit

Head back to your page.

If you did everything correctly, you should see your post on your page feed.

Viola! You did it! Now keep this token safely and use it to automate your Frame Bot!
